The allusion in this months installment of
Hay and Nicolay's Life of Lincoln to the
nickname Woody Horse" applied to Gen Ere
mont in the campaign of 1856 recalled to my
mind story told me by an old WaShingtonian
about the origin of the strange soubrequet. 1t
seems that after Fremont had first announced
TO the world his discoveries in the great West
Philadelphia Snowman of tricky and specula-
tive turn undertook to eXploint Lieut.. Fremont's
discoveries and at the same time make little
money for himself. So he came down to Wash
ington, Congress being then in session, and,
hiring shop on the avenue, proceeded to adver-
tise and exhibit Lieut.. Fremont S woolly horse
captured by the gallant explorer in the very
heart of the Rocky Mountains, at the risk of his
life" OF course, it was only an ordinary
everyday horse, with patches of wool
stuck on. But it took, and the Snowman

Immigration to Georgia.

Some of our State exchanges are mani
Testing much interest in the question of i'm
migration. The fact that a large number
of the immigrants who have arrived in this
country since the beginning of the year
had from $500 to $4,000 each has attracted
special attention The common senti ment
is that such immigrants as these are the
kind wanted in the South, because they
would purchase lands instead of hiring out
as laborers.
How TO induce immigration to the South
is question that has often been discussed
One of our exchanges suggests that in the
case of Georgia the General Assembly ought
to provide fund for advertising the States
advantages! The suggestion amounts to
| nothing, because, under the present State
constitution, no such an appropriation can
be made. Efforts have been made time and
again to induce the General Assembly to take
some action in the direction of bringing the
advantages the State possesses to the notice
of immigrants, but they have all failed.
Nothing but radical change in the consti-
tuition will secure the action desired
If Georgia is to profit by the tide of i'm
migration to this country it must be by the
efforts of her people in their capacity as pri-
vate citizens. A few days ago the MORN
ING NEWS suggested plan by which the
States advantages might be cheaply and
effectively advertised. A union between
the railroads and landowners for that pur-
pose would be productive Of gratifying re-
salts. Here is another suggestions: At the
meeting of the farmers which Commissioner
Henderson has called let the matter of i'm
migration be thoroughly discussed, and then
let plan be put in operation for bringing
10 Georgia the class of immigrants desired.
No doubt Commissioner Henderson viii be
glad to lend his aid to whatever plan may
be devised

The Cock That Crows at Dawn.

gines whistle ahrill,
The piercing notes that echo from the fishers

The prlma donna's soulful shrielSs, the bagpipe's

But nothing like the racket of the cock that

But yet they reach me from afar, and stun my
